Kaboxer is a framework to manage applications in containers on Kali Linux (and other Debian-based) systems. It allows shipping applications that are hard to package properly or that need to run in isolation from the rest of the system.

1. Kali Linux 2021.2 Introduced
New tools : Kaboxer and
Kali-Tweaks.
What is kali linux?
Kali Linux (formerly known as BackTrack Linux) is an open
source, Debian based Linux distribution aimed at advanced Penetration
Testing and Security Auditing. Kali Linux contains several hundred
tools targeted towards various information security tasks, such as
Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics and
Reverse Engineering. Kali Linux is a multi-platform solution, accessible
and freely available to information security professionals and hobbyists.

2. Kali Linux 2021.2 has introduced two new tools for
making Kali easier to use:
1 Kaboxer
Kaboxer is a framework to manage applications in containers on Kali
Linux (and other Debian-based) systems. It allows shipping
applications that are hard to package properly or that need to run in
isolation from the rest of the system.
The framework has two parts; the kaboxer tool is the main UI for
starting, stopping, creating and managing containers and the relevant
images. There's also dh_kaboxer, a helper that can be used in
source packages and that partially automates the process of creating a
package for an app that uses Kaboxer.
The packaging process with Kaboxer takes a detour: First, special
Docker images are created from the applications and made available
online. Packages created with Kaboxer then do the image download
during the installation process. The user can use the APT package
management system as usual and, at best, does not even notice that
the downloaded application is running in a container. Further details
explain a Blog entry about Kaboxer as well as a detailed article for
developerswho want to package their apps indirectly with Kaboxer.
Without duplicating what has actually currently been published,
this modern technology enables us to properly plan up
programs that were formerly challenging, with things such
as intricate dependences or tradition programs & collections
With Kaboxer’s launch, we have actually launched 3 bundles
utilizing it:
If you intend to find out more, please see either our post
covering it, or our documents around it.
Kaboxer is still in its early stage, so please behave & individual with
it.

3. The kaboxer tool has several modes of operation, each with its
own subcommand some of them are listed below
• kaboxer run
• kaboxer stop
• kaboxer build
• kaboxer save
• kaboxer load
• dh_kaboxer and many more.
2 Kali-Tweaks
This is the little helping hand for the user of kali Linux, with the idea of
customize the kali to your own personal test quick, simple, and correct
way. this helps to stops you to do the repetitive task.
Among other things, the developers have restructured the “bleeding
edge” development branch, made minor optical and functional
changes to the Xfce-Desktop and Z shell (ZSH) and expanded the
selection of login and desktop backgrounds.
The newly added tools include the reverse engineering
framework Guide, the Quark-Engine as a scoring system for Android
malicious code as well as Dir search for brute force attacks on folders
and files on web servers.
Currently kali-Tweaks will help out form the following things:
• Metapackages-Instal and remove group of tools which may not
have been available while installing kali if you don’t use the
installer image
• Network Repositories-Enable and disable bleeding -edge and
Experimental branches

4. • Shell and prompt-Switch between two or one line prompt,
enable and disable the extra line before the prompt, or
configure Bash or ZSH as default shell.
• Virtualization-using kali as guest VM
Our ideology is to constantly recognize what you are running,
prior to you run it. By doing this, it minimizes the possibilities of
any kind of unwanted awful shocks. Which is why we will
certainly constantly urge anybody to do activities by hand prior
to automating it, so you reach recognize what is occurring under
the hood. On the other hand, we additionally recognize there is
a lot to keep in mind. After that when you spray in individuals’s
poor practices, which usually have long-term effects and also
wind up damaging Kali, there is space for enhancement. So, we
began creating Kali-Tweaks. Where feasible, Kali-Tweaks will
certainly additionally present what commands are being
performed to aid inform customers.
We do intend to point out a couple of points:
• kali-tweaks has actually been significant as
“advised” instead of “needed”. Therefore, if you are
updating Kali, it might not be consisted of. On the various
other hand, you can eliminate kali-tweaks without
getting rid of anything else
• When it comes to updating; depending upon just how old
your Kali setup is, you might require to reset your covering
source (e.g. .bashrc & .zshrc) prior to you can utilize
the “set up punctual” area. This is due to the fact that it
will certainly not have the required variables. Need to you
intend to, see to it to back-up, reset, and also bring back
• The last point to explain, when altering the default login
covering; please log out and also in once more (either
graphically or remote console) for it to have an impact

5. In Kali Linux 2021.2 Open listener on TCP and UDP ports 0-
1023 Superuser access is no longer required (although this is
only possible with Kali flavors running in the kernel).
The latest OS versions also offer the following features:
• Ah “Refreshed” bleeding edge branch (Includes
packages that are automatically updated from the
upstream git repository)
• Two new Raspberry Pi package
• New Kali-Docker image (For ARM64 & ARM v7)
• Support for Apple M1 users who have parallel
• Kali NetHunter support for Android 11 (And improved
Bluetooth and settings menus, improved compatibility
with dynamic partitions, etc.
As always, the new version of Kali New tool:
• Search your company’s infrastructure, files, and apps
with CloudBrute, a top cloud provider
• Dirsearch for brute force attacks on web server
directories and files
• Feroxbuster, for recursive content detection
• Ghidorah, Software Reverse Engineering Tools Suite
Created by NSA
• Pacu, AWS Exploit Framework
• Peirates, Kubernetes Intrusion Tool
• Quark-Engine, Android Malware Scoring System
• VSCode aka Visual Studio Code Open Source (“Code-
OSS”) – Code Editor

6. Finally, there are some Appearance and functionality changes
and new options Similarly: New desktop wallpapers and login
backgrounds, and theme enhancements that allow quick
actions.
